Correct Answer: Lack of employee motivation


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Lack of employee motivation

Job specialization involves breaking down tasks into specific, narrowly defined activities and assigning them to individuals based on their specialized skills or expertise. While job specialization can have some advantages, such as increased productivity and reduced training time, it can also lead to a lack of employee motivation.When employees are assigned to perform repetitive and narrowly defined tasks, it can result in feelings of monotony, boredom, and a lack of challenge. The lack of variety and autonomy in specialized jobs can lead to decreased job satisfaction and reduced motivation among employees. This can impact their engagement, commitment, and overall performance in the long run.
